I have a friend who is looking to get some new headphones looking to spend $250CAD ish. I lent him my AKG 240mkII’s. He said he liked them but I don’t think the low end response was sufficient for him. I am loooing for suggestions.

I am using my iPhone X as my primary source for headphone listening and I 'd like to get the most from my phone. I've looked at portable DAC's, but after discovering the quality of the audio files on my phone is not as good as I thought, I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve the quality...

Just wondering if anyone has heard or had any experience with the Elac speaker brand. I've read quite a bit online that they are an amazing "Bang for Your Buck" and I know that this forum is typically a big fan of value gear. I see that they have a tweeter inside the mid driver and I recall...

Hi Gents. Recently I was fitted for custom ear pieces for my Shure se 315 IEM's(primarily for noise isolation) and I thought, what else could I do to maximize my listening experience. So, I've been doing some reading online about portable headphone amps/DAC's to use with my iPhone X. I think...

So. As per another thread about sitting down to listen to an album I'm struck by the impression that my audio is a little boomy. Sitting here listening to Dark Side of the Moon (I plan to find some modern music after I rediscover my system) and the time sounds a little boomy. I have sound...

...figure out what format and quality the music is on my iTunes on my phone? Some of the music is purchased from Apple, some has been ripped from CD's. I haven't been doing much in the audio world the last couple years and I've found my way back to reading some posts on this forum, and now I'm...

Well hello! Great to see that the gang is still here! I've been doing some research/reading/listening to try and figure out if some cool new Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones should be on the Christmas list. I travel 5-8 times a year and thought that the N/C option may be a good one...

My wife has the Bose SEI2i, and they are nice. They are comfy and sweat resistant, but the SQ isn't as good as I had expected and they are her earbuds, not mine. I'd buy myself some of the Bose but I'd like something with better SQ for that kind of dough. Any suggestions?

So, my PS4 exploration continues. I put on Star Wars Episode II (yes, willingly) and the sound was only two channel. So, after much messing around and upsetting my children by interrupting their movie....it still was playing in 2 channel. The movie only outputs at DTS6.1 in english. I'm...

So, Destiny came with the PS4. The game play is fun and familiar. The story seems to move the action along. The graphics and sound are fantastic. (Side note, playing a some-what scary first person shooter on a 92in screen and full surround is a little bit freaky). My "You know what really...

I found this on a website that I went to for the first time ever today..... http://thechive.com/2014/11/12/the-effects-of-music-is-more-powerful-than-you-think-14-photos/ No sources listed but I think it's valid.

So, I won a PS4. Any suggestions for Games, or how this thing works? I updated it and got my Sony and Netflix accounts active on it. Downloaded a game for the kids (it came with Destiny which I don't really want my 5, 7 and 9 year old playing) and messed with it a bit. I beleive it's...

Back in the Spring I bought a new projo, which was long over due as I went 1.5sih years with no HT. Now that I've got going in this pursuit again I find I want to upgrade, well, everything. I have a Denon AVR 3806 receiver and Paradigm Studio series speakers, which I'm fine with. As I...

So, wise and wonderful purveyors of acoustic knowledge, what is the formula to determine if a wall is far enough away from my seating to leave it untreated? The wall is about 25 feet from my speakers and about 14 from the seats, so round trip from speakers to wall to seats is about 39 feet.

So, I've been "out of the game" for a while, and not around here much for... quite a while. New projo and some home made sound panels have reinvigorated my enthusiasm. I've even put RTA on my surface so I can mess around with the panels a bit. My thoughts have come to power for my speakers...

I'd not heard of Morel before, but a guy I know may become a dealer. Any comments on the brand? Where do they rank in price and product hierarchy?

On my Epson Powerlite 550 that I never really liked. I've always had a problem with the colour. It's looked red on one side and blue on the other. So, do I spend the $400 on the new lamp or use this as a reason to buy a new pj for about 2-2500? This pj is almost 7 years old, so I am due...

Had to throw out my old panels as I built them without a frame and the fibre glass collapsed. So, I googled OC 703 to try to find a supplier around here. Well, I found one nearby! No more pealing plastic and gluing ceiling tiles together. They mentioned another manufacturer called Manson...

So, i've recently discoverd Garage Band on my Mac and my desire to FINALLY learn how to play the guitar. I have a Profile electric guitar that I got for my birthday 20 years ago that I have been playing a little. A buddy, who plays guitar, has offered to get together to teach me all his bad...

Just wondering what you guys do? Mine are always on, but I have 3 boys all under 6 years old. So, for the sake of my drivers, the grilles stay on. Just wondering if there is a major sonic improvement when removing the grilles.
